What to Expect During Their Treatment

Before starting treatment, your patient will receive a TMS evaluation from one of our trained TMS Therapy Directors. This TMS evaluation will help to educate your patient on what to expect with treatment and make sure they are a clear candidate for TMS therapy.

It is recommended that your patient receive at least 36 sessions of TMS Therapy. Patients can expect to be in and out in less than 20 minutes for each daily session.

You will receive weekly patient progress updates with PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores during treatment. In addition, our TMS Therapy Directors oversee treatment, monitor patients' progress, and determine protocol changes based on your patient's response to treatment. They may contact you if they need to collaborate or coordinate with you on their care.

Can I Treat My Depression without Medication?

What to Expect Post TMS Therapy

Completing TMS typically takes around 6 to 7 weeks to complete. At the conclusion of the treatment course, you will receive an End of Treatment (EOT) report. The report includes all weekly progress notes, weekly PHQ-9, and GAD-7 scores, and an overall summary of your patient's progress throughout their treatment.

Our team instructs your patients to make a follow-up appointment with you within the next 2-4 weeks. You can also expect your patient's Treatment Coordinator Manager or Patient Advocate to follow up in person and answer any questions you may have about your patient's EOT report.

Finally, your patient will join our Salience Alumni Program which will prompt our team to check in with them regularly to stay proactive on the relapse of their symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a candidate for TMS Treatment?

The FDA has approved TMS for patients 22 and older, suffering from Major Depressive Disorder who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medication in the current episode. The American Psychiatric Association’s best practices for the treatment of depression states to use TMS after the first line of medication. rTMS has also been used off-label by clinical researchers to treat:

  • Anxiety Disorder
  • Adolescent Depression
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Bipolar Depression
  • Cognitive Decline
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Post Stroke
Is TMS the same as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)?

No. ECT was designed to cause a series of generalized seizures, requires hospitalization, general anesthetics, and/or muscle relaxers. TMS is an office-based procedure, performed without muscle relaxers or anesthesia and does not cause a series of seizures, memory loss, nausea, or confusion, which are typical concerns with ECT. TMS patients are able to drive themselves to and from treatment, remain awake, and can converse or listen to music throughout the treatment. Our treatment is completed during a 30-minute visit depending on the patient, minimizing interruptions to their typical day.

What are the side effects of TMS?

Some patients experience mild scalp discomfort in the area where the magnetic coil is placed. Patients often experience minor headaches with treatment. Those will subside within 2-3 weeks of treatment. Our treatment coordinators are highly trained to provide a comforting environment for your patients, minimizing the risk of minor headaches.

What kinds of patients cannot receive TMS?

Some patients cannot receive TMS treatments if they have non-removable metal implants within their head (with the exception of braces or dental fillings). Failure to follow this rule could cause the object to heat up, move, or malfunction, and result in serious injury or death. Problematic metal implants include: aneurysm clips or coils, stents in the neck or brain, deep brain stimulators, electrodes to monitor brain activity, metallic implants in eyes or ears, shrapnel or bullet fragments in or near the head, facial tattoos with metallic or magnetic-sensitive ink, or any other metal devices/objects implanted in or near the head. Patients with active or past psychosis should not receive TMS.

How can I receive updates on my patient's progress?

Once a patient is referred for TMS treatment, we keep you updated in order to maintain continuity of care. You will be notified when your patients come in for their consultation and will be kept in the loop through weekly treatment updates, provided via fax or encrypted emails. If our TMS Therapy Directors have any questions or concerns regarding your patient's treatment, they will reach out directly.
